Dear Friends,
I think Mr. Sarfaraz had hit the nail on the head.
A junior employee being HELD RESPONSIBLE for non-recovery of Rs. 40 lakhs (that too from a Ministry)
The question that arises are :
1. Is the "Ministry" running away with Rs. 40 lakhs ?? Anything due with the Govt. of India, can always be recovered.
2.
Were the seniors sleeping for so many years, and then they suddenly woke up ?
3. Why should not the seniors be charge-sheeted ?? If they say, they were NOT aware, then this is also a big error on their part.
4. The truth, in my humble opinion, is that this poor chap had been reminding his bosses time and again regarding the Rs. 40 lakhs.
But since, the company wanted some favours from the Ministry, they were not pressing hard for the amount.
In turn they must be telling the person verbally (as it happens normally), to keep things in abeyance for some time.
Such verbal orders must have continued time and again.
Also, it is not possible for a junior employee to recover Rs. 40 lakhs from the Ministry on his own. He must be going to his bosses, who must be ordering him to keep quiet for some time.
I wonder how our dear HR professionals are baying for the blood of the poor employee in the name of "
DISCIPLINE".
Give a dog a bad name, and then shoot him.
HR professional should develop the ability to -
- read between the lines
- be analytical in their approach and not to accept 'facts' as they are presented
- play a non-partisan strategic role for the betterment of the organization
Unfortunately, they only believe in :
- "HR" is a link between the Management and the Employee."
Link for what ?
A postman's job of passing
repugnant orders from top-to-bottom ??
- "Nowhere its a theory that the HR must only consider the employee side of view."
Correct. One should take
only the employer's side; after all its a question of one's bread-and-butter which is
provided by the employer (and not by the employees).
Looked at this way, there is no difference between the HR's involvement and Auditors involvement in the Satyam scam - both acted on behalf and in collusion with the erstwhile management.
I agree that we are all responsible to our own families; but then we should also draw up a limit to the extent to which one can bend.
Else, why call oneself an HR professional (without perhaps having the requisite degrees/diplomas); better to go back to the business of sugar cane juice vending (as our member AnonymousA has implied in a thread).
Dear Ranjeet
I compliment you on putting up this thread, and I appreciate
your personal values and professional ethics in thinking that suspension is unfair, and that something is not correct with this whole episode.
We need more upright, sensitive and brave HR professionals like you.
I agree with your satement "When we say Human Resouces, we are here to take care of our employees and to driven a good culture in the organisation."
and, I understand you when you say, "In my previous post also i had writeen that my HR Manager knows only to manage by hook or by crook. She just know what happens in one company itself as she is baby of this comapny."
I think HR these days have found a "new niche" in the scheme of things.
Unfortunately, I see that the day is not far off; when HR professionals will be handing summary Dismissal order; in case there is a loss in the company; to
several office-boys ; the reason being - their
indiscipline; in not providing good quality tea at the right time to senior officials, causing a drop in their efficiency and thereby causing a loss to the company !!!
Please do not laugh, when one can hold a petty employee responsible for Rs. 40 lakhs; why not office-boys for loss worth crores ??
After all, isn't whatever the BOSS says is correct ??
Regards.
